Adding custom function to Policy

Question

I want to create a custom function for my Policy but I don't know how to use it in the route as middleware or something. Basically below is the code for my policy

class DepartmentPolicy
{
    use HandlesAuthorization;    

    public function list(User $user, Department $department)
    {
        return true;        
    }
}

Now I want to call this in my Route something like this

Route::prefix('/departments')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/list', [App\Http\Controllers\DepartmentController::class, 'list'])
           ->middleware('can:list,department');
});

But I always get a 403 function. When I remove this middleware I can access the url. But with this I get a 403.

Note: I already created the policies in the AuthServiceProvider like below

protected $policies = [
    '\App\Models\User'               => 'App\Policies\UserPolicy',
    '\App\Models\Department'         => 'App\Policies\DepartmentPolicy',
];

Can anyone tell me how to use this custom function in my custom route? Basically I know that by default if I access the index in the controller it will call the viewAny function in my DepartmentPolicy but what about the custom function in the policy and the custom route? how can I call that or link each other?

You want to do this by middleware? You can check directly in controller by Gate facade — Maksim, Mar 23 '22 at 09:50
